Delaware State Police Major Crimes Unit detectives are investigating a stabbing that occurred in Millsboro Wednesday evening.

The investigation began on Wednesday, Jan. 24, at around 8:20 p.m., when troopers were dispatched to the intersection of Townsend and Harmony Cemetery Roads for a reported stabbing. Upon arrival, units made contact with a 38-year-old Milford man who was sitting on the side of the roadway with stab wounds to his extremities. The victim was removed from the scene by Emergency Medical Services and transported to a local hospital.

The preliminary investigation revealed that the victim, who was at the time a passenger in a vehicle, had engaged in a verbal argument with another passenger. The argument escalated and the driver stopped at the intersection of Townsend and Harmony Cemetery Roads. While still seated in the vehicle, the other passenger stabbed the victim. The victim was able to exit the vehicle prior to the suspect fleeing the scene.

The suspect could only be described as a black male. The victim was treated and released with non-life-threatening injuries.
